The teachers and staff at Fred W. Hill Elementary School in Brockport have produced a cookbook as a fundraiser for their Relay for Life Team: Hill For Hope.

Several teachers from the Hill School participate in the Relay for Life event held in Spencerport each June on the high school track. The purpose of the Relay for Life is to raise funds for the American Cancer Society to help fight cancer.

Said Joan Markis – a teacher at the Fred W. Hill School in Brockport:

Since few have been untouched by cancer, those of us involved are passionate about finding a cure for all who suffer from cancer. Our Hill for Hope Team has raised close to $40,000 in the 12 years we have been a part of this extraordinary all night relay event that includes hundreds from our area.

This is the teachers’ second cookbook publication.

The group’s first was entitled Hill for Hope Cooks and raised over $3000.

The second edition, Hill for Hope Cooks II, contains nearly 250 personalized recipes from over 60 contributors. It also features a colorful removable insert making it suitable for Mother’s Day gift giving.

Books are only $10.00, with all proceeds to benefit the American Cancer Society.

Caurie Putnam I'm proud to have called Brockport my home for the past 15 years. I love it because it has a small town feel, but the presence of SUNY Brockport adds a small city flavor. I moved to Brockport after graduating from the University of Rochester to cover the community as a reporter for Messenger Post Newspapers. I grew up in Connecticut and Washington County, NY but fell in love with Brockport and decided to raise my family here. I am a single mom to two busy little boys who take after their busy Mommy! I am also a freelance writer for The Democrat and Chronicle and several other publications in western New York. My Brockport activities include: The Brockport Moms Club, Brockport PTSA, JJ's Angels, The Brockport Blizzards, and Tri-County Youth Hockey. As the Brockport Blogger, my goal is to bring you positive, family centered, community news and photos. Brockport is the hidden gem of Monroe County and I love to shine it up.
